Pressure Sensor Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
Based on signals from the air conditioner pressure sensor, the air conditioning amplifier assembly controls the compressor assembly with pulley (compressor solenoid)*1 or cooler compressor assembly (compressor solenoid)*2 and changes the air inlet mode between fresh and recirculation in order to protect the parts of the refrigerant cycle.

NOTICE:
- If refrigerant pressure on the high pressure side becomes extremely high during the inspection (if the voltage exceeds 4.61 V), a fail-safe function will stop compressor operation. In this case, make sure to measure the voltage before the fail-safe function operates.
- It is necessary to measure the voltage for a certain amount of time (approximately 10 minutes) because the malfunction may recur after a while.
HINT:
When the ambient air temperature is low (below -1.5°C (29.3°F)), the compressor with pulley will be stopped, due to inputs of the thermistor assembly and No. 1 cooler thermistor, to prevent the evaporator from freezing. In this case, perform the inspection in a warm indoor environment.
